Salter, S. (author)It is now accepted that the combination of more intense rainfall, poor planning of built-up areas, rising sea levels, coastal erosion and, in particular, higher storm surges pose a real threat to the UK and many other countries. At a meeting at the Institution of Civil Engineers held on 7 July 2003, the Government Chief Scientist Professor David...report 2006

Wilms, T. (author)In 1993 and 1995 the Netherlands were started by two flood waves. They did not cause much damage in the floodplains, but they made clear that it should not be taken for granted that the Netherlands are protected for floodings. Therefore in 1996 the policy 'Ruimte voor de rivier' came to effect. In this policy measures are sought to protect the...master thesis 2006

ComCoast (author)A desk study has been carried out in order to develop a conceptual model for the erosion of inner dike slopes with reinforced grass cover. Based on the results the following can be concluded: The presence of a geosynthetic in a grass slope can be taken into account in the EPM method by increasing the critical flow velocity. In particular, a...report 2005

Van Gerven, K.A.J. (author), Akkerman, G.J. (author)The present report provides a state-of-the-art inventory of relevant information and technical concepts for the ComCoast project, being the first phase of the research stages of Work Package 3 (WP3). This project was assigned to Royal Haskoning by CUR. The information scan was set-up in a systematic way. About 160 relevant references have been...report 2005

Van der Pol, C. (author), Glasius, A. (author), Winnubst, M. (author)Projects using innovative concepts in coastal defence -like ComCoast- can benefit greatly from participatory action. It can lead to innovative solutions with a broad societal support base, as is shown in the plan for water storage in the Overdiepse polder and the inundation compensation scheme for farmers in the upper River Dinkel region. This...report 2005

Pilarczyk, K.W. (author)As a low-lying and highly developed country, the Netherlands is continuously facing potential flooding disasters. Thats why we need strong safe water-retaining structures like sea and river-dikes. Moreover half of the country lies below mean high water level. Without dikes more than half of the country would be endangered by flooding. About 60%...report 2003

Ye, S.Q. (author), Verhagen, H.J. (author)In order to develop a new philosophy of flood safety in terms of probability of a certain level, two mathematical models of breach growth in sandy dikes have become available to determine the flood discharge in case of dike failure.

Sprangers, J.T.C.M. (author)The high erosion resistance of grass swards on c1ay dykes seems to be largely determined by the amount of roots and the root system architecture. Following on previous studies on river dykes which revealed high root densities and erosion resistance in unfertilised pastures and hay-meadows, we experimentally investigated the influence of...report 1999
